Men make different investments than women do. Women tend to invest more of their earnings than men do in their family's well-being - as much as 10 times more.

More quotes by Melinda Gates
Abortion has become a very politicised issue that I think countries have to work out themselves. In a lot of countries, people can't even yet agree on what their laws should be.
Melinda Gates
That's universal - we all want to bring every good thing to our children. But what's not universal is our ability to provide every good thing.
Melinda Gates
The biggest pieces of work that we do are vaccines, because those save lives, and also family planning. Because if a woman can space the births of her children, it changes everything for her health and her child's health.
Melinda Gates
Women and girls should be able to determine their own future, no matter where they're born.
Melinda Gates
Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system.
Melinda Gates
We look in our own backyard and say, 'How do we help at-risk families, at risk youth? How do we think through some of the problems affecting the Pacific Northwest and make some change there?'
Melinda Gates
Our desire to bring every good thing to our children is a force for good throughout the world. It’s what propels societies forward.
Melinda Gates
I felt suicidal. I couldn't stop crying. I remember thinking, wouldn't it be great if the car crashed and I died?
Melinda Gates
[Bill Gates] wanted me to stay working at Microsoft, but I didn't think he could be CEO and we could have the family life that we both had growing up, which is what we envisioned. I knew I would go back to work at some point later to some profession. I just didn't know what.
Melinda Gates
If you don't have an effective teacher in front of the classroom, you won't change the trajectory for students.
Melinda Gates
Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.
Melinda Gates
I think it's very important that we instill in our kids that it has nothing to do with their name or their situation that they're growing up in it has to do with who they are as an individual.
Melinda Gates
Around the world we have girls in primary school at about the same rate now as boys, but keeping them in quality secondary schools is where the world is lagging. I'm seeing a lot of countries look at this now.
Melinda Gates
In places like India with smartphones, there's an app now for women if they're in a violent situation, they can press one button. They've given their cell-phone number to five trusted friends, and right away their GPS location goes out: Here I am.
Melinda Gates
Women and girls face a whole host of issues. We start with health, so we work very deeply on maternal deaths, making sure that a mom doesn't die in childbirth, making sure that she has access, for instance, to AIDS medication.
Melinda Gates
Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We've strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high, and those from junior high to high school. But, that critical step taking students from high school into adulthood is badly broken. And it can no longer support the weight it must bear.
Melinda Gates
I am inspired by the women I meet everywhere I go. They have to work so hard just to make sure their families survive, but somehow they stay optimistic and do everything in their power to make the future better than the past.
Melinda Gates
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh.
Melinda Gates
Vaccines are a miracle cure. Eight out of 10 children are getting vaccines.
Melinda Gates
If you can't travel to the developing world, look at helping to fund a woman with a small loan and follow her. Learn her story. Learn about the difference that you're making.
Melinda Gates
